  • Yes, the ghost notes give a sense of continuity and motion.....makes it flow.

  • This is the toto-tune 'Rosanna' by the great jeff Porcaro

  • Yes,

    This is the same groove that Jeff said he borrowed from Bernard Purdie, the "Purdie" shuffle.

  • Listen to the verses - very important! This was a groove back in the day that had many young drummers (myself included) really scratching their heads. Thre will never be another tme and drummer like Jeff!

  • is this the purdie shuffle though? the one he demonstrates when talking about 'home at last' has a very different bass drum pattern which plays a huge role in the overall effect

  • The stick pattern is what Jeff described as the Purdie shuffle, regardless of the bass drum pattern. If you listen to Babylon Sisters, the intro is different pattern.

  • i dont think the bass pattern is what is definitive of the purdie shuffle. correct me if i am wrong but i think it is the ghost notes that make this beat groove the way it does.

  • Dude you murdered this! And I mean that in a good way!
